Fashion: Cold No More

The winter season in Tokyo Japan had me freezing my lungs out! In cold season like this, you have to dress up properly in considering your fashion style that is suitable for Tokyo's winter season. It was early morning on our last day in Japan where we decided to visit Meiji Shrine. I was wearing an inner pullover from Forever 21 and this black winter coat from Korea, I paired it with black skinny jeans from Pull & Bear and used my Adidas Stan Smith white sneakers and of course I need a bonet, this gray head gear was from Topman.

Travel: Meiji Shrine Tokyo

 Meiji Shrine locate in Shibuya is on the top of the best tourist attraction in Tokyo Japan. It is a Shinto Shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shoken. It is one of the best Japanese structural designed temple that is truly eye satisfying in terms of its cultural heritage. It was sunny cold morning that took us 15 minutes walk from the train station to reach this hidden gem of Tokyo. The peaceful ambiance of Meiji Shrine is a perfect place to unwind your mind and learn more of Japanese diverse culture and exceptional history. Definitely a must see shrine for  you to experience and discover. 

Travel: Nozawa Onsen Snow Resort

A True snow paradise! One of Japanʼs most superb and expansive winter sports areas.

Extending from the top to the foot of Mt. Kenashi (1,650m), Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort boasts an altitude differential of 1,085 meters and a total ski slope area of 297 hectares. Indeed, the resort ranks among the very top in Japan in terms of size, its history and snow quality.

Travel: Snow Monkey Forest

The Snow Monkey Forest located in Jigokudani in Nagano Japan was my first winter hike experience of my life.  The journey going to this place requires train and bus ride and some 1.8 km walk along the mountain side until you reach the Snow Monkey Forest. Whenever I travel, I do make sure that my travel itineraries  will include activities that I have never tried before. I was fully dressed up winter-ready to make sure my body temperature was stabilized along the trip. It was exhausting but the view of the place was definitely worth the hike. I was amazed of the picturesque view of the pine trees, mountains covered in snow, and traditional Japanese houses that I can only see on paintings and books before. And of course you'll gonna love all the monkeys bathing in the onsen too. Snow Monkey Forest is definitely one of the best travel spot that I can recommend to visit if you'll be in Tokyo Japan.
